Summary

The board approved a conditional use permit allowing outdoor storage for Clearwave/Clearway Fiber at the former Schwann's site, requiring an $80,000 occupancy bond, fence by April 1 and finished parking by June 1 as conditions of a temporary certificate of occupancy.

The Shorewood Board granted a conditional use permit for outdoor storage in an I-5 zoning district to Clearwave/Clearway Fiber at the former Schwann's property, with conditions that include an $80,000 occupancy bond, an 8-foot privacy fence to be installed by April 1 and completed parking/striping by June 1.

Planning staff described the proposal: outdoor storage of construction materials (conduit, spools, vaults) in a rear yard behind an 8-foot fence, daytime operations from 7 AM–5 PM, about three semi deliveries per week, and an occupancy bond to secure completion of improvements. "They would like to store construction material like fiber conduit wheels, spools, vaults, and materials for installing handles," the planning presenter said. Staff also noted Clearwave temporarily moved materials off-site after staff contact and that the ordinance draft includes temporary CO language and bond requirements.

Trustee Brockman moved to approve the conditional use and waive second reading; trustees approved. Staff will monitor compliance with the April 1 fence and June 1 pavement deadlines and may enforce the bond if conditions are not met.
